Scientific Computing: 1986 vs. 1996
- 1986:
- Minisupercomputers (1 - 20 Mflop/s): Allient, Convex, DEC
- Parallel vector processors (PVP) (20 - 2000 Mflop/s): CRI, CDC, IBM
- 1996:
- RISC workstations (10 - 1000 Mflop/s): DEC, HP, IBM, SGI, Sun.
- RISC based symmetric multiprocessors (SMP) (.5 - 7 Gflop/s): HP-Convex,
SGI-CRI, DEC
-
Parallel vector processors (1 - 250 Gflop/s): CRI, Fujitsu, Hitachi, and
NEC
- Highly parallel processors (1 - 250 Gflop/s): HP-Convex, CRI, Fujitsu, IBM,
Intel, Hitachi.
